    I find weeding much easier when using transfer tape. Weeding on transfer to transfer tape, then positioning and transferring with the tape much the same way stencil cut vinyl is transferred. Kiss cut the material with the backing still on it and pick it up off it's backing with transfer tape while weeding and apply. Transfer tape comes in various adhesion levels from low to high tack.

    Have you considered first etching the lacquer a touch underneath the full design, and then placing foil on top and running the machine even faster and cooler on the same path to just melt the gold into the groove made by the first pass?
    It's an idea I've been toying with in my head, to get that old school carved-and-gilded look.
